Deck The Halls! by Caro Wallis
This is the second post in a two-post series on Hollies. You can read the first post here.
Holly requires a moist but well drained moderately fertile, humus rich and slightly acid soil. They will grow in sun or part shade but for best berry production, most compact growth and for the best leaf color in the variegated hollies, holly want a sunny spot. Most hollies are either male or female. So when buying, check to see if you need both to set fruit. See here. You can try starting holly from seeds but germination may take 2 or 3 years.
